Nice to see the punishment for over-sizing the wheels is steep. biggrin

Everything seems to be optional on Jags these days - I was speccing an XF-RS when they came out (not for purchase, just for giggles pedants), and even Xenons and parking sensors are a cost option!

For truly hilarious options, though, we must look to Audi Exclusive options. Spec up an A6 Avant to north of £100k and you'll see what truly expensive options look like. biggrin

In my experience Porsche are the all-time champs.....if they could charge you for air in the cabin, then you would pay extra for the PorscheLuft (tm).

No they aren't. They are standard. The options list on an XFR-S is tiny.


The F-Type options list is much longer, but you still get the following as standard which you wouldn't on a Porsche:

Auto box (90% of 911's go PDK)
Paddle shift
Xenons
Sat nav
Push button start
iPod connection
Hard disk drive
Bluetooth phone & audio streaming
Rear parking sensors
18" alloys

Specced a lovely V6 "S" for a customer today. Went from £67,500 to about £72,500. Could have run right up to £80k if ticked everything but that would be daft.
